(Type the ratio as a simplified fraction.)
To convert yards to inches, we need to remember that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches.
So, the width of the garden in inches is 6 yards x 36 inches/yard = 216 inches.
The length of the garden in yards is 4 yards.
The ratio of the width to the length as a fraction in simplest form is 216 inches/4 yards.
Now, we need to convert inches to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, we divide the width in inches by 36 to get the width in yards:
216 inches / 36 inches/yard = 6 yards.
Therefore, the ratio of the width to the length as a fraction in simplest form is 6 yards / 4 yards = 6/4.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 3/2.
